I'll be shocked if they don't bring Juliet in on the secret by the end of the season. I suspect they will keep her and Nick together but either way I expect her to be brought in on the secret before long. Heck, even this sudden infatuation with Nick's boss should be raising questions in her mind. I do agree that whatever they are going to do they need to do quickly. This isn't the sort of show that works as a soap opera.
